Mary Ellen (nee Jackson) SmithHave been looking for birth and parentage info for my great-great-grandma, Mary Ellen Jackson. According to a little date book that my great-grandma kept, her birth date was June 3, 1855. However, I have not been able to find her birth certificate through Genes Reunited or the General Records Office.
The main reason for this, I think, is her birthplace varied each decade on the censuses. She used one of these three: Barnsley (most often), Rotherham, or Wakefield. I have attempted at ordering her birth certificate -- failing 7 times! There aren't any more left to try in the three places I mentioned.
Another wrinkle is on her marriage certificate to Robert Smith of Wakefield, the box that should have her father's name in it, just has a line through it, and no mention of who her mother was (instead).
They had these children: Amy, Sarah, Alice, Ernest Arthur, Harry, Edith, and Florence.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Bailey/LewisI am looking for a Thomas Archibald Bailey Lewis, who married my great-aunt in 1919. I have been unable to find his birth, but have found the birth cert of Thomas Archibald Bailey,born 10 Jan 1898 in Wakefield Prison, son of Edith Agnes Bailey of 5 Brunswick Terr, Dodsworth Rd, Barnsley & Thomas George Bailey, who was a Sanitary Painter (Master). Since I found on the newly released 1911 census a Thomas Archibald Lewis born c 1898 (born Barnsley)living with Richard & Annie Elizabeth Lewis (& also found them on 1901 census living in Normanton, Wakefield, my feeling is that Thomas Archibald Bailey was adopted by them & thereafter used the surname Lewis. I found evidence on 1901 census of a George Bailey (his biological father?)in Sheffield Asylum & listed as a Painter Labourer. What if Thomas Archibald Bailey was born whilst his mother was in prison as an inmate or visiting her inmate husband - as a lunatic, the father was later transferred to Sheffield (his home town) & the hapless infant was put up for adoption. Does anybody know any more or how I can trace this information if true? Thank you.

Heeley in Barnsley, Gawber, Higham, Dodworth areasI am looking for information about the family of my Great Grandmother Mary Heeley.
Mary was b 6.6.1892 at Dodworth, and appears to be the youngest daughter out of 5 born to George Heeley and his wife Eliza Jane (nee Bradley).
George and Eliza were married on Xmas day at Darton Parish Church 1880. They appear to have at least 5 daughters, Jane (1881) Annie (1885) Amy (1887) Eliza (1890) and Mary (1892). I have found birth certs for all but Annie (who appears aged 6 on the 1891 census where the family were living at Woodvale Cottages in Dodworth.
I am trying to find a birth or baptism record for Annie (I suspect this could be a pet name or variation). If anyone has any info or could do a look up that would be excellent.
I am also trying to find out if George and Eliza Jane had another child between Jane and Annie and after Mary as there is a reasonable gap between the 2 older girls. Perhaps the children died in infancy and would not have shown up on 1891 or 1901 censuses.
I have marriage records for all 4 of the sisters except Annie and at least 2 of the sisters were born in Dodworth, although I also have Higham, Gawber and Barnsley listed too.
Many thanks for any help.
